Not only did Shen Guanglin and Li Li not go to listen to the report, but other members of the exchange group also went out to play together.

Li Li also wanted to go on a trip, but Shen Guanglin said we shouldn't go yet.

It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's that he knows that Bai Bing is about to "run away" and there is no need to drop the topic himself.

At least, they can't make stupid mistakes.

In this way, Shen Guanglin took Li Li to "listen" to the lecture and brought his camera with him.

They truthfully recorded which professors from which countries were teaching on which topics.

Then, they disappeared.

In this way, when the domestic censorship is settled, the blame cannot be placed on them.

This is the responsibility of the group leader, Vice President Liu. He brought Bai Bing here. She is not from Beijing University, so why can she join the exchange group?

Shen Guanglin has never been to Los Angeles before. He mainly travels on the East Coast. He goes to New York more and rarely comes to the West Coast.

The Staples Center where they are located is not far from Macy's Department Store.

Then go there and take a stroll.

Los Angeles is a tourist city, especially suitable for self-driving. It is not far from Hollywood and Las Vegas, but unfortunately their itinerary is fixed, so I don’t have time to go to these places.

Today is a relatively mobile day. Tomorrow is the keynote speech, and then the entire meeting agenda is over.

There is still half a day left for shopping and sightseeing the day after tomorrow, and then we will retreat back to China.

The day after tomorrow, I will fly back to the capital from Los Angeles via Budapest.

Bai Bing's departure from the group was scheduled to be during her free time in the morning the day after tomorrow. She had already planned her departure route, and Shen Guanglin had no intention of exposing her.

Shen Guanglin and Li Li didn't take a taxi, so they walked slowly according to the map, looked at the scenery along the street, and discussed the local customs.

Even though Shen Guanglin, a half-American general, did a lot of popular science work for her, Li Li was still greatly shocked.

There are many cars on the road and the cars drive very fast.

The girls are also very unrestrained, walking on the street wearing shorts and suspenders.

Shen Guanglin told her they were called hot pants.

It was quite hot, and my pubic bone was exposed.

Things that seemed ordinary to Shen Guanglin seemed incredible to Li Li.

I would not dare to wear this in the country.

"Brother Guanglin, how is the income here?"

"The income from a legitimate job is pretty good, definitely more than in China, but their life is not that good. The peak of their economy is probably still a few years away. The 1990s should be the peak of their economic development. "

It was only after Shen Guanglin came to this era that he realized that Citigroup in this era was not very powerful. What was truly powerful was China's neighbor to the north, the CCCP.

On this day in 1980, the skyrocketing oil prices caused Citigroup's economic recession; the Vietnam War had just ended, and their wounds had not yet healed; and the hostage incident at the Tehran embassy made Citigroup's international image fall to the bottom.

CCCP behaved aggressively at this time.

In the past few years, they exerted extreme pressure on Huaxia, forcing Huaxia to move to other camps;

We just invaded Afghanistan at the end of last year and are now gaining momentum;

Last year's conflict between China and Vietnam was, on the surface, a battle between the two countries, China and Vietnam, but in fact it was a game between Citigroup and the CCCP.

In this era, no one thinks that CCCP will collapse within ten years.

You must know that their military is still dominant, their economic strength is about 2/3 that of Citigroup, even an ordinary worker has the opportunity to go to the Mediterranean for vacation, and the people's income and welfare are no worse than those of Citigroup.

In recent years, militarily, CCCP has been on the offensive and Citigroup has been on the defensive;

Economically, the footbath countries are also making rapid progress. They are on the offensive, and Citigroup is also on the defensive.

Now this country can really be said to be in turmoil due to internal and external troubles.

Of course, no matter which country is out there, it is richer and more powerful than China in this era, so it is understandable that more and more people in the country are unwilling to accept the status quo.

Unfortunately, China is still too poor.

After walking, Macy's Department Store arrived.

Citi's shopping malls have not changed much in decades. They seemed very advanced in the 1980s, but by 2020 they have become a bit outdated.

However, it is annoying to say that the price of those luxury goods in China is at least twice as expensive as that in foreign countries, and it is the same no matter what era.

Shen Guanglin and Li Li don't have much money. Fortunately, neither of them are materialistic people. It's good to go shopping.

"What do you want to buy? I've been shopping for a long time and haven't bought anything yet." Shen Guanglin was tired from walking, but Li Li still looked energetic.

No matter how quiet a girl is, she is still full of life when shopping.

Li Li looked around and whispered, "I told you, don't tell anyone else."

"Then you'd better stop talking."

"Hate!"

What she wanted to buy was underwear, but she was too embarrassed to take Shen Guanglin with her.

What's the big deal? Teacher Shen used to go to these places alone.

In this era, there are few bras sold in China, so Li Li usually wears an extra piece of clothing underneath, or wears a small vest made by herself.

What a big deal this is.

Shen Guanglin walked into the underwear store first and asked the waiter directly which underwear was more suitable for Li Li.

European and American sizes do not meet the needs of Asians. If you want to buy something that is close-fitting and has a sense of design, you probably have to go to a foot basin country.

However, Shen Guanglin was still dazzled by the selection. He even had an idea for a small underwear with a hollow pattern, and he must buy it for sister Li Li.

Next is Teacher Shen’s teaching time.

"The earlier name for underwear in ancient times was "Xieyi". In the Han Dynasty, it was called " belly-holding clothes" and "xinyi clothes". Its characteristic is that the back is exposed.

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it developed into "Liangdang". The difference is that it has a back piece, which can be used as both the chest and the back.

In the Tang Dynasty, underwear became very powerful. There was a kind of underwear without straps called "myrobalan" because they liked to wear half-breasted skirts.

After the Song Dynasty, it retreated and the name was changed to "tube top".

The Yuan Dynasty was great. They called underwear the albizia placket, which was characterized by being tied from back to front, with buttons and straps in the front, a bit like an old man's shirt.

During the Ming Dynasty, the name was changed again, and it was called the "main waist". The shape was somewhat similar to a vest, with an open placket and laces. Women at this time were already well versed in how to highlight their figure.

In the Qing Dynasty, bellybands were developed, usually in the shape of a diamond. The upper part was put around the neck, the lower part was tied around the waist, and the lower tip just covered the navel.

In recent times, not many girls wear bellybands. Most of them wear a small vest similar to a vest, which can cover the embarrassment, but it cannot shape the body and make it look taller."

Li Li is wearing a vest.

Shen Guanglin helped Li Li buy some small-size underwear. Although Shen Guanglin didn't see how she tried them on, she said they fit, so let's take it as a fit.

If Shen Guanglin followed into the fitting room at this time, then this place would no longer be Macy's, but become Uniqlo.

After shopping for a while, neither of them bought anything large, which was basically watches, clothes and jewelry.

Shen Guanglin still had a conscience and bought a lot of things for his little sister Li Rong, because he had no other acquaintances except the embroidery lady who shouted every day that she wanted to get married so that she could help her raise her baby.

After returning to the hotel, it was still early, so we could go to the rooftop to watch the sunset.

In this day and age, the sunset in Citiland is indeed beautiful.

People who watch the sunset are more beautiful.

After returning to the hotel room, Shen Guanglin took out his speech script and did his homework again.

There are two versions in total. One is the public version for the audience to read. It only has an outline and does not have those fancy jokes and language;

The other is a version with some humorous stories, which is more people-friendly.

Shen Guangli decided to make major changes so that he could be aggressive. After all, it was not easy to visit Citiland, and it was even harder to make a splash.

Shen Guanglin put down Wenwen Township and Tomb of Heroes and prepared lessons until midnight, almost memorizing the lecture notes.
Chapter completed!
